Recent trips were taken to view art and culture, see old friends and meet new ones, to Cuba (Havana, Vinales, and Playa Giron) and Japan (Kyoto, Tokyo, Naoshima) in the Spring of 2016.

In keeping with my past activities, I mailed collaged postcards home from Japan.

Images taken on both these trips will most assuredly show up in future work. I am about to begin a new series to complement and expand on Postcards of Japan which I completed in 2013. Digital images are printed on Japanese washi, and then collage materials are applied onto these images, or appear in windows cut into the images.

First time in three years and I am finally having another open studio. Making some wall cabinets reminiscent of work I did some years ago. Feels good.So more new work, same old studio, getting more and more filled up as time goes by.... 27 years on Sargeant Street. Please come by and say Hello and bring a friend! And for those of you who missed "Hardware" at Highland Hardware on Hampden St, my wrench is still on display. Go by and say Hi to Harry and buy yourself a new rake, or something!
